Coronavirus is now chaos in Austria: an athlete is positive, training at risk of suspension

The "Kronen Zeitung" reports it: the name of the infected skier was not disclosed.

A positive athlete, just a few days after resuming training on the snow, the first national team to organize a rally in this period. Ski Austria plunges into the confusion of a situation, that linked to Coronavirus, which could now influence the preparation of the various groups, even if the measures taken by the OESV to guarantee maximum safety for skiers and staff have led to discover a case that would have started from an infection that occurred in a private training center in Salzburg, where other athletes have also trained in recent weeks. The "Kronen Zeitung" has also made it known that, for clearly privacy reasons, the name will not be disclosed at least for now; with 1500 tests planned overall and the division into various groups, starting from that of the gigantists at work since last week on the Kaunertal glacier, the Austrian federsci will still be able to manage the training, but this is obviously a first case that launches the 'alarm.
